How to create a Solana token (step by step)

Creating a token on Solana no longer requires writing smart contracts. With a wallet and a couple of minutes you can mint a real SPL Token-2022 with on-chain metadata. This guide walks through the whole process — and you can practice for free on devnet first.

  1. 01

    Get a Solana wallet

    Install Phantom or Solflare and create a wallet. Back up your recovery phrase offline — MINTARO will never ask for it.

  2. 02

    Fund your wallet

    Add a little SOL to cover the creation fee plus network cost. Testing? Use devnet mode and a free faucet — no real SOL needed.

  3. 03

    Open the creator

    Go to the Create page and connect your wallet. You'll see a live preview of how your token will look on explorers.

  4. 04

    Enter your token details

    Choose a name, ticker, total supply and decimals (9 is standard). Optionally add a metadata/image URI.

  5. 05

    Pick safety add-ons

    Optionally revoke mint and/or freeze authority so scanners mark your token safe. This is irreversible.

  6. 06

    Review the cost

    The sidebar shows the exact creation fee, network estimate and total. Your wallet shows the final amount before you approve.

  7. 07

    Deploy

    Approve the single transaction in your wallet. The token mint is created, metadata written on-chain, and the full supply minted to you.

  8. 08

    Verify and share

    Open the transaction and token links to see it on Solscan. To make it tradable, add liquidity on a DEX like Raydium.

Tip: a token by itself has no market — creating it does not add liquidity or set a price. To let others trade it, add a liquidity pool on a DEX such as Raydium after launch.
